A gain of electrons by an atom creates an anion. TRUE FALSE @Sweetburger

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Say you have Cl by itself. It has 7 valence electrons and wants to gain an electron to become stable. When it takes an electron from another element it forms a Cl^-1 anion. So yes a gain of electrons forms an anion.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

"An anion is an ionic species having a negative charge. They are atoms that have gained electrons." https://www.corrosionpedia.com/definition/88/anion
